Curator studio visit for Assembly House exhibition

Liam McCabe is a visual artist, curator, writer and works on the Programme Team at East Street Arts based in Leeds. His artwork explores data, repetition and information overload.

Emily Garvey is a visual artist based in Newcastle. Her interests lie partially within the realm of the digital. Using 3D modelling software, she produces fantastical virtual worlds, which echo not only ideas of paradise but also well-known mundane environments, of which we are all familiar. Emily and Liam are curating BITTER SWEET, a group exhibition that will take place at Assembly House in Leeds in March this year.

Statement

Helen Shaddock (born United Kingdom, 1986) is an artist based in Newcastle whose practice incorporates video, sound, writing, installation, sculpture and performance. Shaddock uses her personal experience of mental illness to inform the work she makes. She seeks to situate the audience in multi-layered psychological and physical situations.

Shaddock’s most recent project ‘Voices: Within and Without’, was funded by Arts Council England Grants for the Arts, and involved working with other voice hearers, artists, researchers, academics and Mental Health organisations to investigate visual hallucinations and the experience of hearing voices. During the project Shaddock participated in a Spoken Word residency at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Canada. It culminated in ‘THEMSELVES HERE TOGETHER’, an audio-visual installation at The Word, South Shields in April 2018.
